The Centre for Studies and Research

After the Centre

At the end of their stay, the participants leave the Academy with a first written version of their contribution that will need to be refined. In the weeks and months that follow, the researchers are expected to finalize their articles. Only those articles that meet the Academy’s scientific standards will appear in the collective Centre book to be published the following year.

Topics recently covered by the Centre include, in 2015, Access of Individuals to International Justice, in 2016, Citizenship in International Law, in 2017, 50 Years of Space Law, in 2018, International Inspections, and in 2019, Extraterritoriality. You can consult the full list of topics covered by the Centre since its beginning below.

The 2022 edition of the Centre focused on “Climate Change and Testing of International Law”. The bibliography prepared by the Peace Palace Library for the 2022 edition can be found here.

Every participant who regularly attended the Centre receives a Certificate of Attendance at the end of the session and officially becomes an alumna or alumnus of the Academy, following in the footsteps of many famous legal experts. In 2023 the Academy will celebrate its centenary and to that end we are working hard to strengthen ties with and between our alumni.
